    There was a lot of good progress in the month of April. Congratulations to you all.

    ^^^ I agree, we all did great. I have raised the bar starting May 1st for those of you interested. If you haven't seen it already, check out the new thread: Daily Goals vs The Gremlins

    By the way, NikonPal - that breakfast wrap looks amazing! I'm making that for dinner tonight.

    I look forward to seeing you there!

    Company can really throw a wrench in things. I love having visitors but it is work and it usually results in my diet getting sidetracked a bit. I am sure you will have a much better month now that you are back to your normal routine.

    Hi!

    I did not participate in April. I had already joined in with another group prior to seeing this (for lack of a better description) challenge. I had hoped to lose at least 6 pounds in April, but found myself on a plateau from April 1 - April 16. However, I did manage to lose 3.5 pounds. I am happy with that. It was not what I had hoped for, but the 3.5 pounds validated my hard work. Also, I learned a lot---from this group and from others. I also ventured out into several social situations where food was a part of the festivities/ activities and managed to stay within my calorie goals.

    All this to say that, I'm in for May! I have an ambitious goal to lose 7.5 pounds through eating well and exercising. I will also exercise for an hour a day/five days a week. At least half of that exercise time will include 30 minutes of non-walking strength or cardio exercise.

    Best wishes to everyone. Congratulations on your April successes!

    I joined the group mid april and would like to join in the accountability thread for May.

    Basically I'm currently on Day 22 of a 100 day commitment aiming for a 500 calorie deficit and a 500 calorie burn each day. So far I'm doing great. I've had days over and under but weekly totals are on track.
    This is my focus.

    I'm walking a lot and using Leslie Sansone dvds at night to bring up my calorie burn. Somedays my body has been a bit sore but I'm hoping to build some strength.

    I'm planning to accept weight loss as an inevitable final outcome but not get too hung up on how fast/slow the scale moves. If the trend is down I am happy.
